Greetings fellow users. First off, the results of UFC 105: For those of you who weren't able to see it, i'll give you the short story. It was pretty good for the most part, in fact there wasn't a boring fight on it. Randy Couture showed everyone he can still hang with the big boys, Dan Hardy is GSP's next likely challenger to his belt, and Michael Bisping is back to top form and is also back in the rankings, among other things. All-in-all, not a bad showing. On to the personal side things: it's pretty warm from where i'm at here in South Jersey, so warm that it's something i'd like to call Indian Summer, this period of weather happens between the middle of October and near the end of November. I'm more of a Winter guy, but i can enjoy this for the time being. :) Anyway, there's one other thing, i'm looking for more pictures and fanart to upload, only this however, i'm getting more based on just about every major Capcom game series to date, including some based on classic Capcom games also. If you want some uploaded, be sure to ask. ;) Anyway, here's the full results for UFC 105 as promised. Feel free to comment here. :) -Tahj{Neo Strider Tahj}
Winner defeated Delgado via KO (punch) at 3:22 of round 1. This bout, although preliminary, was aired on the live broadcast and Spike TV broadcast following the Wilks vs. Brown fight.
Gustafsson defeated Hamman via KO (punches) at 0:41 of round 1. This bout, although preliminary, was aired on the live broadcast and Spike TV broadcast following the Bisping vs. Kang fight.
Couture defeated Vera via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).
Fight card changes
A previously rumoured Lightweight Championship bout between BJ Penn and Diego Sanchez did not take place at this event. At the UFC 102 press conference White said it is likely that the fight will be moved to a third event in November which was at the time still unannounced.It was later announced that the bout will take place at UFC 107.

I'll make this as short as possible, fellow MMA fans. UFC 105 and 106 are just around the corner, and from what we've seen so far, they shouldn't disappoint. Now why would they have two events in two weeks, you ask? It's really simple, there are two Boxing events during this time. One of them being the Pacquiao/Cotto fight{on HBO Pay-Per-View, and the other being a fight for the Super Six World Boxing Classic tournament{which will be shown on Showtime}. That, and they don't like rival promotions and other combat sports very much. This is what i've seen personally, anyway. Still, they should be quite good. UFC 105 will be live on Spike TV, while UFC 106 will be on PPV the following week. Here are the fight cards so far. Let me know what you think. :) -Tahj{Neo Strider Tahj}
Greetings again, fellow users. Before i talk a little about the results on last night's Strikeforce event on CBS, I'm here to announce that this and future blogs i'll make will now be known as the Strider Personal Journal. I was trying to think of some useful names for it, and in the end, this is what i came up with, so bear with me for a moment. While i'll still give you some quality pictures and fanart like i've been doing from the start, I'll bring over some info on upcoming Martial Arts and MMA events, as well as try to give you some info on promotions based on them. I'll also give you some info on my life inside and outside of the internet. Needless to say, it'll be something new to look forward to overall. :D So what i'm trying to say is i hope you'll continue to enjoy my uploads and blogs here. :) Anyway, on to Strikeforce. Overall it was a pretty good event. Fedor's sucessful cage debut was really one to remember, plus Jason "Mayhem" Miller's entrance was also exciting, although he lost his fight, he was still entertaining, and the other two fights weren't boring either. All-in-all, it wasn't a bad show. Finally, i'm still hoping and waiting to be a Moderator of the site. Hopefully, i'll finally hear some good news by the end of this year, but what i will say is i'm not giving up on the one main goal i have here at Unity. I suppose that's all. Here are the results and info on the show as promised. Feel free to comment on the blog and the pictures i have, i'm still working uploading more as we speak. And be sure to comment on the other blogs i have too. Later days. ;) -Tahj{Neo Strider Tahj}

I'll make this as short as possible, fellow combat sports fans. Strikeforce's next show is bound to be one to remember. The main card is pretty good too, since it has people i'm pretty famillar with, like Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Gegard "The Dreamcatcher" Mousasi, Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva, Brett "The Grim" Rogers and last but not least, Fedor "The Last Emperor" Emelianenko. Also, it's being shown on CBS, so you don't have to worry about paying for it. lol :D Anyway, since it's a co-promotion between Strikeforce and M-1, expect to see some M-1 guys in the show. And there's one last thing, they'll also show the first trailer for EA Sports MMA during the broadcast as well, so if i were you, i'd keep my eyes open for it. ;) The event will be shown at the Sears Center in Hoffman Estates, IL on Saturday November 7th at 9PM Eastern Standard Time. Here's the fight card and additional info so far. Be prepared! :D -Tahj{Neo Strider Tahj}

Greetings again, fellow Unity members. As you probably noticed up until now, i haven't been over here for quite some time. Why, you ask? Well, my good friends and supporters, i'll tell you why: First off, this laptop i'm sharing with my mother and younger siblings came down with yet another problem. It was not only the third time in a month, it was the fourth time this year! :O So what i chose to do was take it to our old computer repair shop{meaning the one i used to go to}. We waited for a while, but we finally found out some info as to why it kept happening. It turned out that it was not only infected with Spyware and Trojan-linked files, there was a hi-jacking program in it as well. In other words, the repair people i took it to before were the ones who made it, and were also the ones who caused the other problems on it too. Meaning, they've been screwing us over from the very start!!! :O I couldn't believe it when i found out, but that would explain why everything was so disstorted. They even over-priced the repairs! Needless to say, i should've saw this one coming. :( Well, it is what it is, right? Anyway, that's one of the reasons i haven't been recently. Secondly, i still had to deal with a lot of personal issues, as a matter of fact, i'm still trying to deal with a couple of them. If there are any updates, you'll be the first to know. ;) Third, i was playing with new games for the PS3, namely Tekken 6, which is awesome!!! :D Sorry, back to the topic at hand. And finally, new pictures and wallpapers. I was able to get some new ones uploaded not long ago, and i'm still working on getting more as we speak. On a similar note, i'm now officially ready for picture requests from other users throughout the site. Therefore, if you have any artwork you wish for me to upload{fanart or otherwise}, let me know from here on this profile or ask me from my e-mail at tm18160@yahoo.com. I want to hear from you. :D One last thing, i'm bringing back the Neo part for my username, so starting today, i'm Neo Strider Tahj once again! Of course, you could still call me Strider, Tahj{my real name by the way}, Neo, or N.S.T. It doesn't matter to me. lol :D Well, that about does it for me for the time being. Here are some of the pictures now, and there's more in the gallery. Feel free to comment on them, and let me know if you have some questions or requests. See you later. :) -Tahj{Neo Strider Tahj}
